What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

do you use cake flour when you make it, or can i use regular all-purpose flour?

I have not done it with regular flour, but it never hurts to TRY, right? The thing is, I am not so great a cook to deviate from recipes too much. On some things I do, but not often.
